What They’re Saying
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone (via Inside Spanish Football): “Tomorrow’s match against Córdoba is very complicated. We have to continue to grow to be able to continue competing with the teams on top of the table. I think that tomorrow the team will go out there to play an important match.”
“Córdoba’s match against Real Sociedad [1-1] is the reference that we have with Djukic and they showed a positive image,” he added. “They had scoring opportunities, bravery and enthusiasm. I imagine we’ll face a team with these same characteristics. Djukic is a coach who tries to make his teams play well, with good possession of the ball. I imagine he’ll try to implement the same idea in Córdoba.”
